Also see what OpenBSD has to say about NIC error rates.

Looking at my dmesg's I noticed the following lines:
dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state
dc2: failed to force tx and rx to idle state
Could this have anything to do with it? I'm not really worried about the
outside interfaces though...
looking at ifconfig I see:
----internal LAN interface---
sis0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
media: Ethernet autoselect(100baseTX full-duplex)
----external ISP1 interface----
dc2: flags=8902<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
For all my adaptors.
The switch should be full duplex too, no? (3com baseline 2024)
Another (interesting?) thing is that when I manually configure the
mediaoptions
(ifconfig sis0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex <IP><NETMASK>)
The iperf test shows ~ 200Kbit/s !!
I'm starting to have the feeling that this is just a bad adapter......
Thanks!
